Am I being punished for not having a HDTV?

I have a SDTV. It's a pretty decent TV and a good size (42 inches).. When I play certain games on it.. like Forza 2 or Dead Rising, the font that shows up on screen is TOO small for me to read. I literally have to sit up and move closer just to be able ro know what's going on.

Can this be fixed somehow> Or do I just have to get a HDTV to be able to read whatever is on the screen?

now i've only played the Dead Rising Demo on SDTV but i do know what you are talking about. It's probobly just the game b/c how would the game know if you are using SD or HD?

Well, I would think that a HDTV would have better resolution and thus be easier for me to read.

I got my 32" 720p HDTV at Walmart for 480 reg. price

Had it for 3 weeks now

SDTV looked good then

HD looks like heaven but better

Dead Rising text looks better on HD

It's sad because the font the way it is now makes the game basically unplayable.. I literally have no idea what's going on. Lord_Tik

BUY

H-D

T-V

NOW

Any HDTV I get will be a major investment. And one that's not going to happen anytime soon.

They are pushing HDTV. Much like Sony is pushing Blue Ray.

As far as I'm concerned...they are both trying to push a pauper into a prince. Not right.

Lol, I'm 27 with a wife and family.. Everything I get is determined solely by how much we make. So, in the list of things to buy,,, a new HDTV isn't as important as getting a fence for the backyard.

And when I do get an HDTV, it's going to be a good one, that I can hang on my wall and at least 42 inches.

It's nice to see somebody that has their prioritys straight. Bravo

An HDTV would totally rectify the issues you're mentioning. Realize that the 360 is meant to be played on an HDTV so I wouldn't go so far as to say that you're being punished for not having one, but you need to realize that developers are gearing their games toward folks who own HDTV's.

Seriously though, just get one already, the difference is phenomenal & they get more affordable every day.

they're pushing it becuz its just so damn cool!! and worth it if u find agood deal.I just bought one today after 2 months of hardcore saving and waiting forthe right deal.Founda 32" toshiba, only 720p, but meh, it was$1000CDN, but on sale for $700CDN. I'm really just happy to have gotten brand name, over the no name brands i was considering before at the price range. Btw im only 16, and i got what i could afford, with my min wage part time job, lol.
